One is single, two is double, three is triple, four is quadruple, five
is quintuple, six is sextuple. What are seven, eight, nine, and ten?

Hi, Vincent.
As for the high-number n-tuples, even those I gave you are not used
often; You might just take my suggestion and look at the standard
Latin prefixes, invent what you think the words ought to be, and then
check a (big) dictionary to see if they are considered real. That's
all I did to answer your first question!
